Ecere SDK/eC Forums

I recently introduced a 'CopyTo' method in the File class. It takes an outputFileName, and you just go: File f = FileOpen("sourceFile.txt", read); if(f) { f.CopyTo("destFile.txt"); delete f; } Since it's not in any Ecere package yet, here's the source code for it: bool CopyTo(cha...

Hi liqi, strcmp is quite standard in C/eC. I usually write it: if(!strcmp(str1, str2)) { PrintLn("Strings are the same!"); } Having a negative, zero, or positive value is very useful in sorting situations. eC also has an 'OnCompare' method accessible on all data types, including on 'String...

This morning nomoon asked on IRC about this. I was lacking sleep and I was under the impression that was indeed broken, but it turned out I was missing a proper path to my mouse over image. This code works: import "ecere"   class MouseOverForm : Window { text = "Mouse Over / Picture T...

Dear fedor, If you are loading a method from a DLL, then I assume you are using function pointers? I am not sure if there are other ways to do it in C++. Loading functions from DLLs is a common topic for which Google will find you tons of tutorials. Just keep in mind eC definitions works just like C...

Hi Fedor, In this respect eC is no different than C. You will need a proper 'matching' prototype to call it from the C/C++ program. Are you linking the DLL with the linker, or are you loading the functions yourself with the Windows API? eC has the 'stdcall' keyword to help you use stdcall convention...

I submitted our application to GSoC 2010!

Let's all cross fingers now.

Sorry for the long delay :) Let's start with the Camera API. You must create a Camera object. You then use this camera object in a Window's OnRedraw method by 'setting it' on the surface to enter '3D graphics' mode, and then unsetting it to return to 2D mode: void OnRedraw(Surface surface) { display...

Thanks Joey for bringing this up again this year. Man does time fly, seems like yesterday we were applying for GSoC 2009. I will admit I am a little reticent in applying again this year. Do we really stand a chance or are the same organizations going to be picked up again? Last year I pretty much se...

Hi guys, Well this is meant as a little introduction for those who haven't heard about eC yet... eC is yet another multiparadigm procedural/object-oriented language which has C for its foundation. This puts it alongside Java, C++, C#, D, Objective C and probably countless others less famous programm...

In the Debian community, we tend to prefer repositories to one-off packages, as they are easier to manage and update. For the "Linux" link on the website, I would bring the user to another page showing repository instructions for distro packages we've created. I am hoping to include that ...
